Under the Amber Light
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Your little socks are hung up softly on the peg tonight
Sleep is coming slow and gentle, easy as a breath
Nothing in this house can reach you, nothing dims your light
Rest inside this quiet corner, far away from any threat

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the amber glow keep watch for you
Every sound outside grows distant, softer than a hum
Hold this stillness, hold this moment, let the whole night lean in too

[Chorus]
Nicole, you are the calm this house was always missing
Nothing in the dark can touch the peace that you bring near
You're the whole warm reason every door was built for closing
Nicole, sleep soft, there's nothing in this world to fear

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past that wooden door the whole wide world is turning slow
You don't need to know its shape tonight, you only need to rest
Wrapped in warmth that doesn't ask you anywhere to go
Held here safe and steady, closer than a hand pressed to your chest

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the amber glow keep watch for you
Every sound outside grows distant, softer than a hum
Hold this stillness, hold this moment, let the whole night lean in too

[Chorus]
Nicole, you are the calm this house was always missing
Nothing in the dark can touch the peace that you bring near
You're the whole warm reason every door was built for closing
Nicole, sleep soft, there's nothing in this world to fear

[Bridge]
Rain keeps time against the window, soft as any lullaby
Nothing asks you to be anything but sleepy now, and small

[Chorus]
Nicole, you are the calm this house was always missing
Nothing in the dark can touch the peace that you bring near
You're the whole warm reason every door was built for closing
Nicole, sleep soft, there's nothing in this world to fear

[Outro]
The socks still hang there on the peg, waiting for the morning
Sleep now, Nicole, the amber light will keep on glowing
